On the Set with Vin

Here's what the Steelbook Blu-ray will look like:

Quote: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson and Michelle Rodriguez lead a cast of returning all-stars as the global blockbuster franchise built on speed delivers the biggest adrenaline rush yet in this explosive extended version. Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled drivers, whose mastermind (Luke Evans) is aided by the love Dom (Diesel) thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal mercenaries from stealing a top secret weapon is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks for the help of Dom and his elite team. Payment for the ultimate chase? Full pardons for all of them and a chance to make their families whole again.

i've never seen any of the other Fast Furious movies but i watched this one and thought it was AWESOME! the Gina/Michelle fight was brutally awesome! i haven't seen the extended cut yet but i was very surprised i liked this movie as much as i did. it even managed to get an emotional response from me when something happens to one of the main characters. and Luke Evans, aside from being HOT, made a great villain.

i'm pretty stoked for part 7 and having Jason Statham as the big baddie!

2 is still my favorite and I'm a firm believer in they never really needed to acknowledge 3 even existed. Now with the addition of Luca Black in 7, I'm starting to lose interest which annoys me because it's one of my favorite franchises.

That may be so, but calling them heist films would also be somewhat disingenuous then; their action films, plain and simple.

Also, if you like heist movies and you haven't seen the first one yet you should definitely check it out. The whole reason the cops are investigating Torreto is because of heists (not because of illegal street racing, as one might think). They're also extremely well choreographed.

I don't mean this to sound snide, but instead of criticizing what you think they should be doing, why don't you watch the four films you're missing and see if they haven't done it already? They wouldn't be making a 7th film if the first four had gotten everything completely wrong. There's a reason the franchise has a fanbase. Personally, I think the 1st one is by far the strongest, but even 2 and 3 have their charms, and the 4th one revived interest in the franchise purely on the promise of returning to the roots of the 1st.

Point Break is almost exactly like FF1 plot-wise, yet you would still call it a crime movie, not a surf movie. All of these films (or at least 1-4) have been crime/cop movies first and foremost. The problem isn't the racing or the heists, it's that they switched to heist films because it's easier to dismiss character development in place of action, which of course always attracts larger audiences.

This was going to be essentially my comment. I was in the same boat; I had watched 5 and 6 out of morbid curiosity and was pleasantly surprised. But that was the whole point of shifting gears (ugh) in terms of approach. Heist films do better than racing films. They appeal to wider demographics. Including me, an avid fan of heist films.
